Do you mean that we may instead want to remove the excessive quoting
of branch names and stuff from submodule.c code, because they are
newer ones that broke the consistency existed before them (i.e. not
quoting)?

That certainly is tempting, but I personally find it easier to read
a message that marks parts that holds "external data" differently
from the message's text, so I think this patch 2/2 goes in the right
direction.
